      Verdict

      A few of these are looking to put poor efforts at Goodwood behind them including previous dual winner Taraz. But he's now 12lb higher than his latest win while both Tom Hark and Rotherwick finished down the field in the same race at Goodwood in July. GOOD CONTACT drops down a grade and only faded close home over track and trip in June, his first start since February. He's worth another try over today's distance and is preferred to Newera, who just got the better of Cyril at Haydock but has been beaten off today's mark since. Multellie is also closely matched with Cyril on earlier form but both wins so far have come over 1m4f.
